Upgrade from 2.0 RC3 to 2.0.2

[mropla]

I would like to upgrade my forum from 2.0 RC3 to the current version (2.0.2). Should I take one step at a time (-> RC4 -> RC5 -> 2.0 ...) or can I go directly with the 2.0.2 package? Other than backupping everything, what I'd better take care of?

Thanks everyone for the support.

You can go directly from 2.0 RC3 to 2.0.2.

As far as other things to take care of besides backups - make sure the theme you're using is available for 2.0.2, or find a new theme if it isn't and you don't want to use the default, as a 2.0 RC3 theme likely won't work too well with 2.0.2.

You will also need to reinstall any mods that have been installed, as the code changes for those will get lost during the upgrade (the existing data should be fine though).

See Upgrading SMF for more info.
